Solid Victorian ghost story, but it's lacking a little something for me. Don't get me wrong, this was creepy and it had good, tense moments, there's just something about it that didn't fully click for me to make it more effective. I'm honestly not sure what it is. Maybe the way the story is structured? 

Or maybe it's just that I read it at a weird time when my brain couldn't fully immerse in any book because I was slumping a bit and had very limited time to sit and read. Whatever it may be, I didn't fall into this book as I expected.

That ending was quite something. I sort of expected something like that, but it was still surprising. The thing is, and this is my biggest con: it felt so rushed. That's one thing I'm certain of; the ending could've been more impactful if the twist had been set up a bit better, with breadcrumbs along the way, or throughout the last 30% of the book, and the execution had more meat to it. 

That said, this was still good and creepy. I think it blended paranormal horror elements with mystery well, and I liked the dual timeline.
